Congratulation to Samantha who's excellent attendance contributes to her roll model status across all subjects. This week she is the first student, to swap her stickers for one of our newalarm clocks! Each week a student attends every day they receive a swap shop sticker, that they can then swap for lower value items or save up for higher value items and shopping vouchers. #teamsjh #attendancematters

Year 7 enjoyed a trip to the zoo on Wednesday, not to look at the animals but to explore different careers. From tree surgeons, finance directors and customer service representatives we explored different career paths, with the perk of seeing lots of animals!

Our A-Level Chemistry students recently took part in the International Chemistry Olympiad and the results are in! Well done to all of our students who took part!

Start of Term 5 - 20th April 2026 We are looking forward to welcoming all students back to school tomorrow. We hope you all had a very enjoyable Easter break.

Students showcased their talent in a live charity concert – Music to make you smile :) The Year 12 band kicked off the night with energetic songs. The KS3 Choir performed confidently, whilst Gabe, Alfie, Lexi, Mawgan, and Richie continued to impress with their solos. Our Year 13 band closed the event with high-energy tunes. Special thanks to Mr Cleverley, Mr Walker, and Mr Clayton for their support. The audience's participation made the night special and we're proud of everyone involved.

As the term ends, we celebrate our Character League's success, recognising students for Ambition, Endeavour, and Respect. Points were earned via staff, Golden Tickets, Character Cards, and attendance. Top students enjoy a trip to Twist Board Game Café and a 'Big Movie and Popcorn Afternoon.' We are proud of our students' efforts.

Year 13 students hosted a fantastic night of live music at Livewire as part of their Event Management coursework. Year 12 opened with songs from Lorde, Phoebe Bridgers, and more, while Year 13 headlined with hits by Harry Styles and Bon Jovi. The audience loved it and praised their skills via a Google Survey.

Our Year 8 students shined at the 'First Lego League Challenge' at the National Marine Aquarium. They tackled Robotics Mission tasks, with resilience and creativity. Babcock praised the group for their positive attitude and commitment, recognising just how much they gave to the experience. We are incredibly proud of how our students represented the school.
